I’m in Southeastern Ontario, closer to Toronto than Ottawa and there are a tonne of Sens fans. I would say 30% Sens, 30% Leafs, 30% Habs and 10% other.
If I was a player I think the main sticking point would be the current arena location. Ottawa’s traffic is not GTA traffic but it sucks. Anywhere urban someone with beaucoup dollars would want to live in Ottawa could add 2 - 3 hours of travel time each day they are at home.
Otherwise, Ottawa is a pretty great small city, albeit conservative/buttoned up.
